In Pescara, local political groups initially denounced proposed increases to the TARI waste tax, noting that residents were facing hikes of up to 15% and individual costs rising by approximately 30 to 70 euros. Critics argued these increases were disproportionate to the quality of service, citing issues such as dirty streets and disruptions to the door-to-door collection system.

The Pescara City Council subsequently ratified the budget variation, which increased the tax hikes for some citizens to as much as 30%, resulting in additional costs of 30 to 150 euros per bill. The approved budget includes a transfer of 1,577,433 euros to Ambiente S.p.A. for waste collection and 379,845 euros in collection fees for Adriatica Risorse S.p.A. Domenico Pettinari, president of the Movimento Politico Pettinari per l’Abruzzo, criticized the decision, stating the administration is increasing costs without providing improved services.
